Love Crucified

United to Jesus in His groans we speak the truth in love.

Part II

Warn and Awaken My People in the Spirit of Love

At the “deepest recesses” of our hearts are our intentions. The Sword of the Spirit, Jesus Christ, desires to expose our true intention; to become naked to ourself and God; an intention that is no longer veiled with falsehood—lies, disordered desires, fears, malice, evil. 

·      “Remove from me the way of falsehood” –Psalm 119

This episode from the life of St Paul (1 Cor.5:1-8) reveals his intentions of heart and those of the Christians of Corinth. St Paul acting in Christ as the “sword of the Spirit” exposes the intentions of the people and at the same time witnesses pure love as a man transformed in Christ.

The spirit of love vs. the spirit of the world 

Spirit of love

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23)

“Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another.” (Gal.5:26)

⇩

ordered tendencies

⇩

Sincerity & truth- transparency, open & fully exposed to Christ, tears of mourning(groans) for my personal misery & for that of others (“In the pure groans of Christ there is no criticism, murmuring, envy, resentment, but only love” Hector Ramos), silence 

VS.

Spirit of the world

“Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness (promiscuous), idolatry, sorcery, enmity(state or feeling of hostility), strife(angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues), jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension(disagreement that leads to discord), party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing” (Gal. 5:19-21)

⇩

disordered tendencies

⇩

malice &evil - murmuring, gossip, hiding, separating, complaining, criticism, control, talk too much, judgments without mourning

≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

The hypocrite has the spirit of the world but pretends to have the spirit of love. He keeps his intentions hidden even from himself, and of course from God. He lives in DENIAL, and therefore, stuck in his own darkness, chained in his own lie, he is unable to be set free.

Jesus taught us to “live wrapped in the gift of self-knowledge”, and in this way, in a PERMANENT STATE OF REPENTANCE!  In order to live in the groans of Christ we must live in the groans of our misery. A litmus test to know if we are truly living The Simple Path led by the Holy Spirit is whether or not we find ourselves more and more in a permanent state of deep repentance. The sorrow of our hearts knowing and suffering our misery is expressed in continuous groans. When we sit before our Lord in adoration and the tears of our hearts swell to the surface because of our inability to love unconditionally with pure intentions, then we have come to know the groans of Christ for us and are able to live His Words, “RECEIVE MY TEARS.”

We can never separate ourselves from humanity. We cannot read Galatians 5 and see others in the category of the “spirit of the world” and ourselves in the category of the “fruit of the Spirit.” This is hypocrisy. We must live in the knowledge that the spirit of the world is in each of us and that even if we have grown greatly in the spirit of Love, we can easily fall back into the spirit of the world; this is our misery. 

Questions that can expose the condition of our hearts:

·      Is it difficult for me to confront others with truth, to be sincere and transparent? Specifically, with who? Why?

·      When the sins and disorders in others wound me, do I feel intense sorrow for them or is my tendency to judge, condemn, get angry, resentful, frustrated, separate from them? Am I able to see that same sin in the other person that wounded me in myself?

This reveals the condition of my own heart—the darkness of evil or the light of love. It is ONLY when I am able to see my own darkness that the Light of Christ can then penetrate me and set me free. I have to be willing to expose myself to God and to myself. 

FREEDOM

St. Paul says in Gal. 5:1, “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

What is, therefore, true freedom? It is living more and more in the Spirit of Love. St Paul explains it to the Galatians this way: “For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Gal.5:13-14)

How then do we arrive to live in freedom? Only by crucifying our flesh with its passions and desires (Gal.5:24)!

The Lord has blessed us with many anointed teachings. We can receive them and understand them in our minds, but they don’t become flesh of our heart until we struggle to live them. The reason it is so difficult is that we must be willing to undergo the crucifixion of our flesh, which is the death of our disordered tendencies, desires, even good desires, expectations, and on-and-on. 

PROPHETS TO WARN AND AWAKEN GOD’S PEOPLE

As Mothers and Missionaries of the Cross we have been entrusted a prophetic mission. Jesus has asked us not only to pray for others but also to warn them and to bring to light the darkness that Satan wants to keep hidden.

Ezekiel 33:7-9

"So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. 8 If I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. 9 But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have saved your life.”

Prophecy, Memorial Day, 5/31/2010

You, My nation of the U.S.A have forsaken Me, your God.  You have made materialism your god.  You have made yourselves your own God.  You have slaughtered My innocent little ones and their precious blood cries out to Me.  You have turned your face from Me.  Now I will turn My face from you during the time of the great chastisement. My daughter, raise up My army of holy ones.  You must speak My words of warning, for I, your Lord and your God, loves you.  You must tell them to open their eyes to Love Crucified; to unite themselves to Love Crucified, for it is only in this way that the power of My Cross will triumph over the evil that prevails.

  …you will go out with Fr. Jordi to speak the truth of all that I tell you, warning My people and calling them to repentance before the time of My visitation. You will call them to enter the safety of My Cross, which is the only place they are safe from the darkness that surrounds them and wants to consume them. –2011

Our Lord asked me to read Jeremiah 6. (7/6/11)

Then He said:

My daughter, it is time for all My chosen prophets to come to the light. You have been chosen, hand-picked by the Father, for these decisive times. I lament the justice of God before you. The time of the great and horrible destruction is near, yet few are prepared. My chosen prophets will suffer greatly. Are you willing to speak My words, My daughter? Are you willing to be crucified as ONE with Me? The time is near, yet the world sleeps. My chosen sons called to shepherd My people to safety slumber in the sin of their sloth and arrogance. My daughter, the path to new life is very narrow. It is the wood of My Cross. I desire for you and Father to warn My people, especially My sons, of the destruction that is at hand, and call them to awaken through repentance of their many sins. Call them to be My victims of love. Call them to martyrdom for love of Me. Call them to holiness. My daughter, few will listen, but you are called to be My voice in this wilderness.

·      They (Missionaries of the Cross) will bring to light the darkness hidden deep in the hearts of My chosen sons. They will preach My love and mercy while there is still time, calling each of them to repentance. 2010

Message for LC, Feast of St Paul of the Cross  10/20/12

I have formed you (LC), trained you, dressed you to be My prophets of light to warn and awaken My people before the horrible day of judgement comes down upon you. There will be wailing, groaning, and grinding of teeth in your streets. The darkness of evil will cover you. Be prepared when these things happen that I speak to you about. Do not let the thief catch you unprepared. Believe, you are My people, My little ones, held in the Father's palm. Believe that I am one with you, the light in the world, My living hosts. Believe, so that My Light can shine through you to penetrate the darkness consuming the world. Believe in the Power of God working through His hidden force. Love and continue to suffer ALL, as one with Me in My sacrifice of love, to enter prepared with God's armor the fiercest battle that is at hand. Do not be ashamed of My words (Mark 8: 38) and share the treasure of Heaven that has been entrusted to you (The Simple Path to Union With God) with many. Complete My Path and as My Heralds of Hope teach it from the housetops. This is your mission. Respond with great zeal and courage of heart, as My warriors of love, for these decisive times.

Jesus: "Can you hear My groans that come forth from the depth of My Crucified Heart? The groans of My agony of love. Listen to My groans of love.

“WARN AND AWAKEN MY PEOPLE”

9/24/20

Part I – Groans with Christ

1 Corinthians 5:1-8

“It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and of a kind that is not found even among pagans; for a man is living with his father's wife. 2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. 3 For though absent in body I am present in spirit, and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment 4 in the name of the Lord Jesus on the man who has done such a thing. When you are assembled, and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us, therefore, celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

St. Paul admonishes the Christians of Corinth because they are acting from the spirit of criticism which St. Paul calls “arrogant” (5:2), “boasting” (5:6) and the “leaven of malice and evil” (5:8). St. Paul sees the impurity of their intentions. They are condemning and judging the sinner without profound mourning of heart for the death of the soul of their brother because they lack love— “Ought you not rather to mourn?” (5:2)

Listen to My Groans —Diary of a MOC. p.225

Can you hear My groans that come forth from the depth of My Crucified Heart? The groans of My agony of love. Listen to My groans of love. (3/11/12)

Living Tabernacle of God —#78 Diary of a MOC.[1]

To be one with Me means that you become the living tabernacle of God. My loving, pulsating Heart lives in you as one with you. You feel My sorrows and participate in My groans for the fulfillment of humanity's transformation into LOVE. 

·      Example: the episode of The Chosen in which a Pharisee listens to Jesus teach the crowd, but he is stuck in his own perceptions, understandings, hardness of heart and therefore calls the Roman officers to arrest Jesus. Yet Jesus gazes at him with “tenderness in mercy” which flows from the groans of His Sacred Heart. 

·      It is first and foremost from Jesus’ Heart suffering the intense groans of the condition of the hearts of the Pharisees that then He is able to speak the truth with sincerity and boldness: 

In Mathew 23: 13-36 Jesus speaks the word “hypocrite” 6X confronting the darkness in the hearts of the Pharisees. He also calls them “blind guides”, “whitewashed tombs”, “dead men’s bones” directly to their faces. He speaks in LOVE the truth:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28 So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."

St. Paul’s words, in the aforementioned letter to the Corinthians, reveal his restored manhood in Christ moved by the Spirit of Love. He admonishes both the community and the sinner severely, “you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh” (5:5). He excommunicates the man. This might seem very harsh to us, but the severe punishment was in order to humiliate the man, to bring about the taming and eradication of his lusts so that his spirit could be saved. It was a discipline to AWAKEN carried out in deep sorrow for one who has died. St Paul acts with the authority of the Holy Spirit knowing that this sin is rooted in the sexual disorders that were common among the pagans of that culture. If this “bad weed” spread through the new Christian community in Corinth, it would destroy them. St Paul desires the salvation of this man and the protection of the Christian community. St Paul acts in truth which is mentioned by William Barclay in his Bible commentary, “Discipline has to be exercised for the sake of the Church. To shut our eyes to the offense is not always a kind thing to do; it may be damaging. A weed must be plucked out before it damages the entire ground. Discipline should never be exercised for the satisfaction of the person who exercises it, but always for the mending of the person who has sinned and for the sake of the Church.” St Paul defends and protects the Church and also provides the guidance and formation they need through his “sincerity and truth”(5:8). 

St. Paul was acting in the authority of God because he was being moved by the pure intention of love; love for the salvation of each Christian soul and for the new Church in Corinth. Love moved him to provide, defend and protect. 

[1] Cf., Mk 8:31-38.

EUCHARISTIC REIGN

Lourdes Pinto, Cenacle 9/10/20

The sin of indifference to the Eucharist.  3/7/15 

As I adored Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, He allowed me to see Him crying. I was moved to a profound sorrow of heart as I gazed at His tears. "Why, my Lord, are you crying?" I asked. 

He cries for the sin of indifference to His presence in the Eucharist. He explained that there is an even greater darkness than the darkness of all the evil of the terrorist, and that is the darkness of the indifference to Jesus alive and present in the Eucharist. This darkness leads and opens the way for the darkness of evil to spread and grow. Because of this sin of indifference to His Eucharistic life, we will live a time when we will not have Jesus in the Eucharist.

Love Crucified has the mission from God to prepare ourselves and the world for the new Pentecost that will bring forth the Eucharistic Reign of Christ.

What is the Eucharistic Reign?

Jesus tells us in His message 11/27/18 to the Love Crucified community:

My Eucharistic Reign will be a time of peace in which My presence will be seen through My living hosts. These lights in the world will shine brightly, and many will come to know and love Me in the Eucharist, thus making My Eucharistic presence the center of their lives. I will be known, adored, and glorified in My Eucharist through the impulse of the Holy Spirit.

The Lord in that same message tells us that "The Path has been entrusted to us by God as a gift of His Divine Mercy to prepare us and the Church for what is to come." "This Path is the preparation of the saints, the victim souls who will endure these end times and usher in the Reign of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Christ's Eucharistic Reign."

The Path is the grace of Divine Mercy to awaken, illuminate, purify and transform us into the Light of God in the world, His living hosts. That is why the Lord encourages us to "recommit ourselves to live with greater faithfulness and zeal the Simple Path to Union With God."

The Eucharistic Reign is the reign of Love, and it is expressed in the radical Gospel of Luke 6:27-36 – Love for Enemies:

"But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30 Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again…32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them… (You have to choose to love those most difficult to love. You must always choose love, patience, and tenderness and never give in to anger and resentment. Path p.294) 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

I Give Myself to the Good and the Bad —Diary of a MOC. –49.p.162

The Eucharist is the power of God in the world. The love of God is the Eucharist and is transmitted through the Eucharist. 

….I give Myself fully to the good and the bad, to the deserving and the undeserving, to those who love Me and to those that persecute Me… I continue to love those who do not love Me. I continue to love those who use Me. I continue to love the unfaithful. I continue to love those indifferent to My love.

The ONLY way that we can love our enemies and those who abuse us is through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ; by becoming one with the Living Host! This Gospel can only be lived by souls who have placed Jesus Eucharist at the center of their lives. Souls who have chosen to be with Jesus daily and for long periods of time, sacrificing their inordinate desires for Him. Therefore, to become God's MARTYRS OF LOVE, one with LOVE CRUCIFIED, Jesus Eucharist must be the CENTER OF OUR LIVES, our One and All!

The EUCHARISTIC REIGN is the reign of Love in souls. 

How is it that the Most High is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish? Our behavior doesn't change who God is. God is who He is regardless of our sins. He is the great "I Am"!

The message of 11/27/18 ends with this sentence:

Prepare… by pondering who you are and the mission entrusted to you.

God always brings us to know who we are and the mission given to us.  He taught us that each of us has become someone we are not, and the Path of transformation is coming to discover who we are in Christ. 

If I remain stuck in my wound, believing all the lies Satan has planted in my wounds, acting in my disordered tendencies, it is IMPOSSIBLE to love those who hurt me, and this Bible passage from Luke becomes my green light to become the WRONG KIND OF VICTIM – the "doormat," the enabler, the people pleaser, the "nice" person that lives stuck in fears and the desires to be liked by everyone.

Only through LONG HOURS with Christ before the Eucharist can we learn from Him, encounter Love, and come to know who we are. Then, when someone insults us, for example, saying that "I am good for nothing" and on-and-on, I know that it is a LIE; I know that I am Abba's beloved daughter; I know that He sent His only begotten Son to set me free to be fully one in the Love of the Trinity; I know my dignity as God's daughter and spouse of Christ, and therefore, that insult doesn't penetrate nor change the TRUTH OF WHO I AM. That insult or abuse doesn't bring me to react from my wounds but moves me to acclaim the truth: "That is a lie, and I am worth a lot because I am the daughter of God…" When I act in TRUTH, in Christ, I do not take personally the evil in the other person, and I am then able to mourn the darkness in that soul and pray for their conversion. 

The reason we cannot love, if we are living as "doormats", is that we believe the lie as truth. We have a distorted image of ourselves and therefore take the abuse personally and react from our wounds. This is the cycle of oppression, of a deep-rooted darkness in which Love cannot triumph.

Messages from the Lord on the Eucharistic Reign:

My saints on earth are united to My sacrifice of love in your abandonment to suffer with Me, –message of 11/3/19

As I began my Holy Hour, I heard Jesus tell me to open my Bible and read Revelations 8.  After I read Rev. 8, He spoke these words:

My little one, much will have to take place on earth before the establishment of My Eucharistic Reign. You (plural) are My saints of the end times united as one with the holy saints in heaven. Because My saints on earth are united to My sacrifice of love in your abandonment to suffer with Me, your prayers are powerful before the throne of Abba. Know, My little one, that your prayers are continuously before the throne of our Father as pure incense. He delights in your prayers, and He hears the cry of the poor. The poor are not only the poor of body but also the poor of spirit – those who have died to themselves so that I can live in them and through them. Much affliction must take place on earth because of the rebelliousness of the human heart, but God, in His infinite mercy and goodness, will bless the prayers of His saints –past, present, and future -- and establish His Kingdom on earth. Be at peace with complete abandonment to the God who loves you and listens to the cry of the poor. Persevere in your own crucifixion for the glory of God and the establishment of His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Go in peace to be My Light in the world.

Second coming –2/12/18 

I have chosen you, My Little one, to proclaim My Love Crucified to the ends of the world. You, My prophet of these end times, will not be understood, received, accepted by the vast majority of My people, but your faithfulness to fulfill My Will will be accepted, honored, and blessed by The Father who sees all and knows all. The few, My little ones, who accept, receive, and honor this mission given to you, will be blessed by our Heavenly Father. He will multiply your lives given and broken through Me, with Me, and in Me. His power and His glory will fill your small sacrifices, united to My perfect sacrifice of love, to raise up a holy priesthood to usher in My Second Coming. My Second Coming will come through Mary, with Mary, and in Mary, for it is My Eucharistic Reign. My little one, the New Pentecost will be the reign of My Mother as one with My Eucharistic Reign united to the Father. This will be the new era of peace in the world – The Kingdom of Heaven on earth. This is the great mission given to you and the few that respond. Great will your glory be in heaven. Persevere, My little one, for you have found favor with the Father in the Son.

Message for LC for Advent –11/27/18 

My little ones, prepare this Advent for My second coming. You have been chosen [as were John the Baptist, St Joseph, and Mary] to prepare yourselves and many for My Eucharistic Reign through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as in a new Pentecost. The Path has been entrusted to you as God's gift of His Divine Mercy to prepare yourselves and the Church for what is to come. Prepare this Advent united to My Mother and St Joseph as you recommit yourselves to live with greater faithfulness and zeal The Simple Path to Union with God. This Path is a gift for My Church before the justice of God touches the earth. This Path is the preparation of My saints who have allowed their hearts and minds to be washed with the Blood of the Lamb. This Path is the preparation of the 144,000 (Revelations 14:1-5) victim souls who will endure these end times and usher in the Reign of My Mother with My Eucharistic Reign. My Eucharistic Reign will be a time of peace in which My presence will be seen through My living hosts. These lights in the world will shine brightly, and many will come to know and love Me in the Eucharist, thus making My Eucharistic presence the center of their lives. I will be known, adored, and glorified in My Eucharist through the impulse of the Holy Spirit. Prepare this Advent by pondering who you are and the mission entrusted to you.

Your misery 10/16/19

Your misery is the essence of who you are. When you live in the awareness of your misery, then your gaze never leaves Me, for then you truly have come to know that you are nothing and capable of nothing good and pure. The essence of your misery is rooted in your ego—your I. It is your ego that must die like the grain of wheat in order for My life to take root in you. To come to know and live in your misery is the beginning of your death to self. It is the beginning of new life. A Life that begins to be centered in Me and My Will. The crucifixion of your desires is difficult and painful but not impossible for the soul who plunges its misery, with trust, in MY Mercy. Allow Me to crucify you for the glory of God and the salvation of the world. This force of God—His Hidden Martyrs of Divine Love—will set the world on fire with a new Pentecost that will usher in My Eucharistic Reign with the Immaculate Reign of My Most Holy Mother. Be at peace, My little one, for I am well pleased with you. Do not be afraid but be obedient to My every Word. Go in peace to love one another as I love you.

There is only ONE intercessor before the Father: Jesus. But He gave His life so that we be ONE with Him, thus intercessors in Him and with His power. 

Your power of intercession lies in your willingness to suffer ALL that I permit in your lives as ONE in My sacrifice of love
